Surveillance & Targeting for Submarines


Surveillance and targeting are critical for successful submarine operations. Advanced optronic and optical instruments aboard submarines provide vital visual information for accurate detection and decision-making. With decades of expertise in optical precision and innovative technology, our solutions deliver unparalleled performance in surveillance and targeting under the most challenging conditions. Our robust and reliable systems ensure superior situational awareness, enabling submarines to operate with confidence and precision in diverse maritime environments. Discover how Nedinsco’s advanced technology supports mission success below the surface.

Targeting and surveillance solutions for submarines

Submarines often face challenging environments where visibility and communication are restricted, making accurate object detection and tracking critical. Together with our partner Hensoldt, we address these challenges with high-performance optronic masts and periscopes that combine advanced optical and electronic systems.

These systems capture both visual and thermal images, enabling crews to identify and track targets effectively, enhancing operational effectiveness and safety. With features like image magnification, focus adjustment, and thermal imaging for low-light conditions, Nedinsco’s solutions provide unparalleled situational awareness.

Leveraging in-house expertise in optics, lenses, software, and fine mechanics, Nedinsco remains at the forefront of innovation, delivering reliable, efficient, and mission-critical systems essential for modern submarine operations.
